Need a new CCFL tube for my Laptop screen
Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 1:31 pm
My Laptop's LCD screen has just burned out tonight. When I turn the laptop on it flashes for a split second and then all you can see is just vague shapes koving around on the black screen. It seems like the light has bruned out in the screen. When I connect a CRT to the VGA port it works fine so it's not the video card.
The thing I need to replace is called a CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluoride Lamp) but finding one withing reasonable travelling distance in the UK is proving to be a bit of a nightmare.
Does anybody know where I might be able to get a CCFL tube direct from a store (in the UK) so I don't have to wait to have one shipped from online? CCFL tubes are not specific to LCDs or Laptops since they get used in nightclubs and stuff to make neon lighting effects.
This weekend could possibly have been the worst time to have broken (again) cos I've got loads of works on
Might have to go into the office to do some cheeky freelance work
